Another nightmare about Salem 1692. Sixteen-year-old Dylan Klaypool still doesn't know what they're about and no, she still won't talk about them. There are a lot of things she won't talk about, like the paranormal attacks from childhood that left her scarred in more ways than one. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that her own mother aided in sending her beloved father to a hospital for the criminally insane indefinitely. It begins here, seven years after his sentence, in a sterile room with the mad and her father. Dylan has bad news; Grandmother has gone missing, and Mother is moving the family to her hometown of Black Willow, the second most haunted place in Massachusetts. The thing Dylan hates most about Black Willow, aside from the creaking house, the spiders, and all the claw-shaped trees, is her neighbor, Mitch, a paranormal obsessed classmate who relentlessly provokes her. However, when Dylan keenly discovers that her father is being given a deadly drug at the psychiatric hospital, she is forced to illicit help from Mitch and prove ghosts exist thus exonerating her father! Together, the unexpected duo sets out to unlock the secrets of the haunted house next door to them all while discovering their feelings for each other. Dylan's nightmares of Salem unfold, igniting a modern witch hunt that polarizes the small town. Dylan and Mitch will team up with their in-school enemies to fight off the evil masterminds enforcing conformity to prove, once and for all, that ghosts are real.
